__ The Calycanthus floridus is a {preading, deciduous, hardy 
fhrub of low growth, feldom rifing above the height of four 
or five feet, producing numerous flowers from May to Auguft, 
fingular in their form, colour, and fcent, the latter Mr. MILLER 
defcribes as difagreeable, contrary to the general opinion; 
the bark has a very ftrong aromatic odour, whence the inha- 
bitants of Carolina gave it the title of Allfpice ; it varies in 
the form of its leaves, hence two varieties of it are enumerated 
in the Hort. Kew. of Mr, Aiton, 1 foliis oblongts, 2 foliis
